our weekend was a blast!!!
it consisted of 4 aunts (phyl, sister (veronica), sue, and day-o (demetria), my cousin (theresa)and oj and myself, wine and margaritas and martinis and beer (all were drunk from water glasses), movies (the ringer, sex and the city), games (scrabble, outburst, and scattergories), pajamas (we never got out of our pj's except to shower and don clean ones;), face and belly hurting laughter, facials, a birthday chocolate chip cookie pizza, pizza, donuts, nachos, laughter and more laughter (we were LOUD: it was a damn good thing we had both sides of the duplex in which we stayed!!!), etc.
there were MANY hilarious incidents.
however, one stands out in my mind;
so, i'll share...
we all got up saturday morning and made our way to the deck to drink coffee. when i walked out on the deck, my brother pointed over to what looked like a rock and said, "do you see that yellow lab (labrador retriever) over there???"
i looked again (seeing only a rock) and replied, "ummm??? no???"
he said, "well, day-o (my granddaddy dubbed her day-o for the old harry belafonte "banana-boat song", which was his favorite) thought that was a yellow lab and started whistling for it to come..."
ROTFLMAO!!!
and THAT was when she was sober:b
love and blessings,

Awesome! Glad you guys had a great weekend! We had a bit of a bender too. We hosted the supper club over here, and things just spiraled downhill fast. I decided not to post any of the pictures in case anyone decides to run for public office someday. :)
Was this your brother's Birthday that you had written about earlier? It sounds like you guys had more fun than should be legal. Oooh, thats a scarey thought. I hope they never start taxing fun. I'm sure your family and mine would go broke!
Oh and sorry about the milk through the nose while reading my latest post. Next time maybe I should place a warning?

Hello dear Dani
I have just checked in on Jenn's blog and laughed myself silly there with her postman stroy. Now I have come over to yours and got a good laugh out of the rock story. I would have loved to have seen a photo of this look alike lab rock.
A weekend away with your family would be an absolute blast. Nothing beats getting together with family and laughing yourself silly.
It sure does feel good to stop in and visit. I have missed stopping by. We have all had the boomerang cold, you know the one that goes away and comes back with gusto. Anyway, we're all starting to get better now.
Lots of love and hugs
Elise
Bahahaha
I'm glad you had a good time ;]
I get to see you soooooon, I hope! It feels like forever:[

Hannah

Next time don't forget to invite your fave bloggy friends, hint hint!!! :-)
